Welcome! I second what CJ said, and want to add that you will be money ahead in the long run if you stock BG. The HBG need to be restocked periodically to keep the population up, and they won't spawn enough to keep a good forage base going for the LMB.

When they get restocked with the larger LMB in the pond, some of them will become very expensive LMB food.

I think the jury is still out on the YP in smaller ponds. It used to be thought that they would overpopulate in smaller ponds without heavy fishing pressure, but they might be kept in check with predatory fish.
